I finished the entire bowl of fish porridge in no time.
"Old man, how does it taste?"
Xiao Sizi clenched his hands in front of his mouth, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
“Okay, very delicious.”
The old man laughed, then stretched out his hand and said: "Your Highness, Xiao Sizi, it's really hard for you to get up so early. Why don't you go inside and sit down?"
Xiao Sizi didn't hear this.
Because when she saw the old man's outstretched hand, she seemed to have thought of something, and her little eyes became distracted.
"Your Highness Xiao Sizi, what's wrong with you?"
Yuan Baihe couldn't help but ask next to her. She found that Xiao Sizi's current state was not quite right.
The old man also noticed the clue and looked at Xiao Sizi.
Xiao Sizi has been staring at that hand and has fallen into a state of selflessness.
Just when the grandfather and grandson were wondering what to do, little Sizi put his little head on that hand.
Just like that….
His chin rested on the old man's hand, his eyes sparkling.
Extremely cute.
"Ah, Your Highness Xiao Sizi, what are you doing?!"
Yuan Baihe was stunned immediately.
The old man was also puzzled. How could this be so good that he just put his little head up?!
But there is one thing to say.
The meaty little face is smooth and tender, and it feels really good.
Especially the cuteness when she has a small mouth, gently points her little head with a finger, and closes her eyes resentfully, the old man feels that his heart is about to turn cute.
Ah, this damn cuteness trick.
"Ah, old man, didn't you ask Sizi to do this?!"
Xiao Sizi asked rhetorically.
The old man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Your Highness, Xiao Sizi, I don't have such a request."
When little Sizi heard this, he moved his little head away from the old man's hand and waved his hands wildly: "Ah, I'm sorry, sorry! Old man, that's what Sizi thought wrong."
"Woooooo, Sizi likes this better, so I used to ask my second brother to do this, let him stretch out his hand, and then Sizi's little head would be in his hand, and then the second brother would touch Sizi's head. It's really like this
Good, Sizi likes that feeling so much!!"
"Sizi just saw that your gestures were similar, and thought you were the same. Sizi thought wrongly."
The voice fell.
The corners of the old man's and Yuan Baihe's mouths twitched.
Good guy!!
Co-authoring this is what His Highness and Xiao Sizi often did in the past, it is a conditioned reflex.
"Ahem, it's okay."
The old man coughed and then said: "Your Highness, Xiao Sizi, are you still tired? Do you want to come in and take a rest."
He repeated the previous question because he felt that Xiao Sizi did not hear clearly at that time.
Xiao Sizi thought for a moment and nodded vigorously, her beautiful twin tails swaying in the wind.
"Yes! Sizi definitely wants it! Sizi got up so early today, he's almost exhausted!!"
"Old man, if possible, Si Zi should go to the second brother's room to rest. Hey! Wait, no, the second brother has prepared a new house for Si Zi. Hehe, then, old man, Si Zi can go to that house.
?!"
Xiao Sizi clasped his hands together and his eyes sparkled.
The old man smiled and said: "Of course, that is the house prepared for you by His Highness. Naturally, you can go there whenever you want."
"Wow, yay!!"
Xiao Sizi happily made a victory gesture on the spot.
It's really lively and cute.
The old man couldn't help but sigh.
Subsequently,
He looked at Yuan Baihe beside him and said calmly: "Baihe, you can take His Highness Xiao Sizi over there."
Yuan Baihe bowed slightly, nodded and said, "Grandpa, granddaughter understands."
She led Xiao Sizi to the house.
The old man watched them leave, hoping that his granddaughter would take good care of His Highness Xiao Sizi today, because they needed to do big things today.
After he could no longer see the two of them, the old man whispered: "Where are the Jinyi guards?"
The voice fell.
People wearing flying fish suits came out of hidden places around.
As soon as they appeared, they held their knives in their hands and said: "Taoist Master!!"
The old man nodded and said calmly: "Go ahead and arrange everything. It's time to take action."
"yes!!"
They quickly dispersed and went to carry out the old man's order.
After doing all this,
The old man came to one of the courtyards in the east courtyard. As soon as he walked in, he saw a melancholy man with broken hair on his forehead, wiping his sword.
That person was Xin Qiji.
"Taoist Master, you are here."
Xin Qiji didn't even look back, so he could figure out who was coming.
He judged it by the sound of footsteps.
Everyone has a unique and own footsteps.
"Yes, Mr. Xin, you are the top priority for today's action."
"To avoid any mistakes, Mr. Xin, I'm afraid... I'll have to trouble you to be the most eye-catching bait."
The old man's eyes were full of guilt.
Xin Qiji didn't take it seriously and said: "It's okay, Taoist Priest, we are all doing things for His Highness. Xin has already made this determination, so you don't have to worry about it."
"So now, is everything ready?"
The old man nodded and said: "Everything is ready, we are just waiting for Mr. Xin."
Xin Qiji's eyes suddenly flashed.
"Unexpectedly, it was Xin who delayed the plan, which he shouldn't have done."
"Xin, let's go now."
Quickly sheathing his sword, Xin Qiji walked towards the planned place.
After he passed the old man, the old man followed him and left together.
Going round and round.
Arrive at the west courtyard of Prince Chu’s Mansion.
It can be found that there are several guards of the Prince of Chu's palace standing here holding knives. They are in an orderly manner, and a few of them are escorting an ox cart.
The bullock cart was fully loaded and covered with white cloth, as if there were many things hidden under the white cloth.
Originally, the guards of the Chu Palace had their eyes wandering around, but when Xin Qiji and the old man came in, they immediately focused on the two of them.
Xin Qiji looked at the many eyes without any emotion.
He looked around at the guards of the Prince of Chu's Mansion and groaned: "Let's go! Head to the snow mountain!!"
……………………
South of Chang'an City.
Commercial Street.
This is just one of the thousands of commercial streets in the south of Chang'an City. Even so, it is very lively.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! There is an endless stream of vendors coming and going, and it is full of noise.
"Oh, Lao Liu, you are such a mess. I have eaten the wontons at Chuhe Restaurant, and they are much better than yours."
"Yes, yes, there is really no harm to the child if there is no comparison."
"That's outrageous! This tastes terrible!!"
At an open-air food stall, many diners expressed their dissatisfaction.
The proprietor of the food stall is a kind-hearted middle-aged man who looks amiable, but when he heard the news about Chuhe Restaurant, he instantly became furious.
"Chuhe Restaurant? Damn it, their wontons just became delicious recently?!"
"So what if it's delicious? How much does Chuhe Restaurant's wontons cost? How much does it cost here? Don't you understand? You spend money on broken shoes and still want to buy new ones. You are dreaming!!"
"Rolling, rolling, eat as much as you like."
The shopkeeper was so angry that he actually started chasing away the diners who were trying to eat his wontons on the spot.
Some diners were driven away, and some said they would not talk anymore, so the shopkeeper allowed them to stay.
As for the diners who were driven away, the shopkeeper also confiscated their money. No one ate the wontons that had been prepared in the original position. The shopkeeper fell to the ground as if they were feeding the dogs.
"correct."
Suddenly, the shopkeeper seemed to have thought of something. He looked around at the diners and said angrily: "If anyone says something good about Chuhe Restaurant later and I hear you, I will drive you away directly."
"And I will remember your appearance. Next time you come, I will never cook you anything to eat."
The shopkeeper said it very forcefully.
Don’t worry about the diners running out.
It seems that he is not the one who loses money and makes money, but does business according to the circumstances.
Anyone who says good things about Chuhe Restaurant will be driven away. This kind of hatred can be said to be very great.
Diners who have stayed have expressed that they will comply.
This made the shopkeeper look much better, and he went back to make wontons.
But after a while,
A special pigeon landed on his shoulder, and the shopkeeper's eyes narrowed slightly.
He put down his work, came to the diners, and said loudly: "Everyone, today's wontons don't count. Let's go. Something urgent happened here."
He couldn't help but start driving away the diners, confiscating their money.
Although the diners were dissatisfied, they did not make a fuss when they saw that they were not charged and had their wontons in vain.
After driving all the diners away, the shopkeeper quickly closed the stall and went home.
His home is not far from here, only a few steps away.
Just a few steps before he arrived at the door of his home, the door of his home opened from the inside, and a woman walked out.
Looking sad.
"Madam, why did you come out? Aren't you supposed to be sleeping at this time?!"
The shopkeeper seemed a little surprised.
The woman rolled her eyes and said angrily: "I didn't sleep today, and I didn't dare to sleep. Do you think I can sleep because of the things I have to do today? I have been waiting for you to come back, and when I heard about our stall
By the sound, I knew you were back."
The shopkeeper touched his head, smiled awkwardly, and said: "That's true. In fact, it's okay if you sleep, so you don't have to leave Chang'an City today."
The woman stepped forward and knocked him on the head, and said full of resentment: "What are you talking about! What's wrong? You still want to leave me alone? That's not possible. We said it when we were drinking, let's go
Wherever we go, we have to be together."
The shopkeeper sighed and said with some sadness: "I said this back then, but now that I'm facing a real choice, I still hope you can be safer."
The woman rolled her eyes and said: "Do you think... if you die, it will be a very happy thing for me to live? That will make me miserable, so I might as well just die. Okay, okay.
, Not to mention this, time is urgent, hurry up and push things in."
As the two couples talked, they helped push the stall into the house.
en route.
The woman's hands kept stroking the stall and her eyes were lingering.
"How long have we been using the various utensils at this stall?"
The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said, "It's been six years."
The woman sighed extremely and said: "Six years... It really seems like everything happened yesterday."
"Old ghost, do you think we will have a chance to come back? Continue... to run our small business, peacefully and without worries."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper's eyes flashed, he stepped forward and held the woman in his arms, looking at the sky outside, and said seriously: "Yes, our son Xiaoyuan is also waiting for our return."
"When we finish our work and return to Chang'an City, we will take Xiao Yuan back and let him attend a private school to try to get a good academic record."
"Speaking of this, in my three generations, there is not a single scholar in my family. It seems that my blood is not very good. Hahaha, I don't know if this brat Xiao Yuan can do it. In fact, it doesn't matter if he can't read. I can teach him how to make wontons."
"There's a saying, yes, it's called father and son going into battle."
The woman hit the shopkeeper hard and said angrily: "Damn it, don't you know how hard it is to make wontons? Xiaoyuan will not make such bad wontons with you. Now that the imperial examination has been passed, the poor people also have a chance.
He will definitely be able to obtain merit and then enter the imperial court."
This is a kind of confidence in his son, confidence without any reason.
The shopkeeper patted his head and said with a smile: "Yes, madam, you are right, look at my head, our Xiaoyuan is so smart, we will definitely get a good name. Okay, okay, don't be angry, don't be angry."
Coaxed for a while.
The woman's face looks much better.
"It's almost time, should we set off?"
The woman raised her head and glanced at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Not yet."
After saying that,
He took the note from the pigeon's leg and handed it to the woman.
The woman looked away after just one glance.
There are only four words written on it.
【Three quarters to noon.】
And now, it's a quarter past noon.
"There are still two quarters of an hour left. Old ghost, do you have anything to tell Xiao Yuan? If you want to say something, say it quickly. I'm afraid we won't be able to come back after we go on this trip."
The woman spoke as a reminder.
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Oh, ma'am, I really don't have anything to remind you. I just hope that if we are no longer here, he can grow up well and get a wife who is like his father, that is, like me. That's it."
It is certain that life will be fulfilled.”
Hearing this,
The woman's lips raised slightly, but she quickly retracted her lips and said seriously: "Not serious!!"
"As a father, you don't worry about whether he will have enough to eat, whether he will be warmly clothed after we leave, and whether he will learn bad things from some bad people. You don't care about these. You are really not qualified.
Dad."
"Huh? Speaking of which, I suddenly remembered that I haven't told Xiaoyuan where our savings are yet. I'll write it right away."
The woman hurried into their room.
The shopkeeper saw it and didn't stop it. This was already normal. Every day, the woman would always think of something and needed to remind Xiaoyuan and then add it.
The woman went to write a letter.
The shopkeeper came to the backyard, where there was a heavy ox cart, fully loaded and covered with black cloth.
The shopkeeper stepped forward and opened the black cloth.
With a "crash" sound, the black cloth was taken off, revealing the inside of the bullock cart.
It’s a lot of wooden boxes!!
Huddle together!!
The shopkeeper opened one of the boxes, and it was filled with money that was about to overflow.
"Your Highness, we and I are ready to leave. We will send you... the things you need."
